It is argued that weighted, alpha-like coefficients, traditionally less used than kappa-like measures in computational linguistics, may be more appropriate for many corpus annotation tasks—but that their use makes the interpretation of the value of the coefficient even harder.
Meme-tracking and the dynamics of the news cycle
1,547 Citations2009Jure Leskovec, Lars Bäckström +1 more
This work develops a framework for tracking short, distinctive phrases that travel relatively intact through on-line text; developing scalable algorithms for clustering textual variants of such phrases, and identifies a broad class of memes that exhibit wide spread and rich variation on a daily basis.

This article shows that the density of subjectivity clues in the surrounding context strongly affects how likely it is that a word is subjective, and it provides the results of an annotation study assessing the subjectivity of sentences with high-density features.

How the performance of a learning-based stance classification system varies with the amount and quality of the training data, the complexity of the underlying model, the richness of the feature set, as well as the application of extra-linguistic constraints is examined.

It is shown that representing the dialogic structure of the debates in terms of agreement relations between speakers, greatly improves performance for stance classification, over models that operate on post content and parent-post context alone.

The Hierarchical Ideal Point Topic Model is introduced, which provides a rich picture of policy issues, framing, and voting behavior using a joint model of votes, bill text, and the language that legislators use when debating bills to look at the relationship between Tea Party Republicans and “establishment” Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 112th Congress.

Using term frequencies in a document does not improve classification achieved with absence/presence features and a small number of top features is found to be as effective as the full feature set and indispensable for the best achieved performance, testifying to the existence of perspective-specific keywords.
